Lesson Summary

In this lesson, we covered:

• Level design basics
• Creating and testing level layouts
• Using landscape tools in Unreal Engine
• Smoothing terrain for gameplay

What did we do?

✅ Updated for UE 5.4.1

Modify the Landscape to your liking

• Use landscape tools to add and remove terrain.
• Use the Flatten tool to create more playable surfaces easily.
• Apply the smooth tool to even out rough areas.
• Define areas for player movement.
• Create objectives and potential combat areas.

Testing the Level

• Play the level to check terrain and player interactions.
• Don't focus on finishing the level, as this will definitively change when we add interactive objects (enemies, platforms, gates, etc.) to our level.
